It's pretty much what you'd expect of an English seaside attraction that's seen better days. Personally I love the Dolphin Derby and think that enjoying fish and chips with a glass of fizz at the Palm Court while the sun sets over the silhouette of the West Pier is hard to beat.

Having been to Brighton a few times (we're from essex), we had not been on the pier before, so it was our main plan for the day. The weather was a bit nippy but dry with a dreadful gale. We are 2 ladies in the 40's&50's and were treated to a wonderful and hysterical few hours. The fact that it... More

We love the pier, free entry, free deckchairs, not many places you can go that are 'free' nowadays. Beautiful views and people watching! Always get a good cup of coffee and a lovely ice cream and The Victoria is a good bar where we sat outside and watched the sun set, brilliant. This is what the English seaside is all... More

Loved the pier, we went on the pier both days and sometimes twice - during the day and at night. It had a lovely aytmopshere and we particuarly like that there were deck chairs free of charge. The choice of food and drinks outlets were really good on the pier and at the entrance to the pier.

We love the pier and is a must-do every time we visit Brighton xx A drink in one of the 2 bars and a ride on the end of the pier has become a bit of a ritual!

Only chaos and noise of cars and smog and there is not one attraction such as typical shops that worth a visit or a good restaurant throughout the area a part from old and dirty fish and chips which I suggest to avoid if you love your healthy. The parking are expensive and with no custody and no easy to... More

Fish & Chips, Gypsy tellers and typical kiss me quick type attractions... not my cup of tea, and certainly not as good as it could be... it certainly has seen better and more prosperous days.

A must if visiting Brighton, with many interesting things to see and do. There's a good pub, lots of slot machines and arcades etc, and plenty of places to sit and sun bathe. Entry is free, and the fun fair at the end is very good. At the end of the day (sun down) the starlings murmuration is amazing, the... More
